[Flow] [FYI] Flow 2.0 TODOs

[Bastian Waidelich]

Hi all,

I just had a quick chat with our fellow Release Manager (aka Karsten the 
Nitpicker *g) because I lost track of the current status of the upcoming 
Flow release.

According to Karsten these are the tasks that prevent us from releasing 
Flow 2.0:


* The open changes for 2.0 need to be reviewed

There are currently only 5 changes in the 2.0 branch that need reviews [1].
Unfortunately most of the over 30 changes that are targeted for 2.0 [2] 
have not been "backported" to the 2.0 branch yet.
The good news: Most of these changes seem to be quite straight forward.

I'd suggest to ask the respective authors to backport their changes as 
they probably know best about the implications.
If a change is not an important bugfix and not merged into master yet 
I'd say we should remove the "2.0" releases footer if we can't get it 
into 2.0 in a reasonable time frame..



* We need to check more changes for 2.0 relevance

There are some issues that certainly need to go into 2.0 still even 
though there is no review yet (for example the broken session handling).
Apart from that I think we should pace ourselves on this one.. Feature 
freeze has been announced a long time ago and we will always find tons 
of useful things to add to 2.0.



* Prepare Changelog and Release notes

I can't judge how much work this means exactly, but IIRC it was about 4 
to 6 hours if everything works as expected.



* Git repository renaming

The Flow package is still called "TYPO3.FLOW3" at git.typo3.org. For 
some Neos packages it is even more confusing.
But IMO this is not a blocker for the 2.0 release



* brush up flow.typo3.org

Also very important but IMO no blocker for the release
